WHO THE HELL DOES APPLE'S CEO TIM COOK WORK FOR?
I was under the impression that Apple CEO Tim Cook worked for the Board of Directors on behalf of the shareholders …
So where the hell does Tim Cook tell anyone, be the global warming activists or global warming skeptics to “get out of this stock?” It is not his money to spend on green initiatives unless they provide tangible value to the enterprise.
Apple CEO to Global Warming Deniers: We Don’t Want Your Money
At the Shareholders meeting, NCPPR [National Center for Public Policy Research] asked Apple to pledge that Apple would not pursue environmental initiatives unless they helped increase profit. Cook did not hesitate. Even though some environmental policies can be good for the bottom line, "we do a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive," Cook said. "We want to leave the world better than we found it." And anyone who objects? “Get out of the stock.” <Source>
I do not mind that Apple uses green or renewable energy, even if it is slightly more costly than non-green energy. But any investment that is clearly speculative and based on an unproven hypothesis is quite another thing.
So with that said – Tim Cook: take your progressive socialist democrat bullshit and pay for it yourself. Do not screw with Apple. You are not Steve Jobs and will never be Steve Jobs. You are an administrator, not a visionary. And, you can’t purchase the title with my money. Your performance already sucks and you are lucky the shareholders are giving you additional time to be of some value. Other than that, you are just another progressive socialist democrat who has his head up his ass.
